M30X bios does not detect the hard drive, won't start HD

Can someone help me in this problem.

My satellite m30x hard drive won't boot, rather trying to boot from the network.

Tried to load the installer by default, and Hd will not appear on the settings

tried original reistal toshiba software CD and the message that no target disk appears

Is this really a hardware problem, some conection fisical damaged, or is it a bios problem

Thanks in advance for some light on this problem

My M30x has the same problem. I just used 2 months.

I sent it to the repair center as I was told to do, because it has guaranteed.

I'm still waiting for a response from them. I don't know what caused it.

    Hello

    You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

    Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

    Please provide more info. You see error messages?

  • When you try to re - install Windows XP, it does not detect the hard drive.

    Hi all. I tired to do a reinstall of Windows XP today. It seems to take a lot of time, and then I did a very stupid thing. I turned off the laptop that I had to go. Now when I try to start the laptop on the cd, I get as far the screen where I have to press on enter to install Windows XP pro on the system or press R to repair. The problem is that there is now no facilities to choose from in the box below and the system is not recognizing the hard drive. I can't even as much as the screen to format the drive. When I press ENTER to install windows xp, then I get a blue screen telling me that the system shuts down to protect my pc. Is anyone able to tell me what to do to solve this problem please. Thank you very much in advance for your help. Noel

    original title: I did a stupid thing... Windows XP Pro

    Sounds like a hard drive problem then. Your drive is maybe defective. First of all, you can use the partition of diagnostic Dell (F12) for its determination.

    In case there is a SATA problem, press F2 to enter the BIOS and change the setting of hard disk SATA to legacy. (Might as well try this first.)

  • the Windows xp Setup program does not detect my hard drive

    When I try to install Windows XP, it does not detect my hard drive which is visible in the bios.  My bios options are very limited, but I was able to use the bios to change the sata in ide.  It still does not work, and now he is not found with the disc of windows 7 I have.  This isn't a new pc.  He was working at a given time, but foolishly, I formatted the hard drive and have no drivers for my drive hard hitachi.  I bought a new seagate Mak, but now this disc hard is not allocated and is also not detected.  I have no way to get an operating system and I'm in a jam financially... Please help.

    SATA drives are not recognized by Windows XP installation disc.  Change the BIOS SATA ATA sometimes solves this problem and allows you to install and sometimes does not.  Microsoft's solution is to press the F6 key when you are prompted for additional drivers, and then insert a floppy disk (Yes, it takes a floppy) with the top driver.

    "Limited OEM driver support is available with F6 during installation of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314859 >

    Several means have been formulated to work around needing a floppy disk.  You can view the following items:

  • Dell Vostro 430 sometimes breaks down and does not find the hard drive in the bios

    So I have this old - ish Dell Vostro 430, intel cpu, windows 7 hard disk sata 250 GB, 4 GB of ram.

    Update BIOS to the latest version 2.4.0

    In certain exceptional circumstances, this PC sometimes crashes in windows, it is restarted, and then when he comes back it does not find the hard drive as a gift. He is not seen in the bios and does not start.

    To fix, I have to unplug the power cable, wait a few seconds, plug in, reboot the computer and it starts normally, load windows and everything.

    So far, I have tried to paginate on another hard disk, reinstall the Windows operating system from scratch, and same thing happens from time to time.

    It is difficult to find the cause of the problem, because this happens very rarely.

    Sometimes, when the pc is turned on for the first time in the morning, the hard drive is not found by the bios and we reappear at the same trick (disconnect the power cable) to take him back.

    When it crashes when using inside Windows, it seems that the reason is the computer can't find the hard drive.

    Such computer is out of warranty.

    It would be nice to just throw this computer because it is still fine for the work it has to do, + I have Windows and Office OEM license on it, as well as many other software that I have to reinstall etc.etc.

    No idea what I could troubleshoot?

    Maybe change the motherboard? How can I buy a new motherboard for an out of warranty Dell?

    While possibly keeping all the OEM licenses (Windows 7 and Office 2007).

    That will make hard to resolve this situation.

    • Have you tried to replace the battery in the motherboard, if nothing else than to exclude it? CR2032, 3-volt lithium-ion, ~ $2 at discount stores. Do not forget to open the BIOS Setup and copy down all current settings first because remove battery BIOS resets the default values, which is maybe not correct for your specific system.
    • Have you tried another SATA data cable, or reinstall the existing at both ends?
    • Have you reinstall RAM and PCI card in their slots?
    • Have you used canned air to blow out the dust?
    • Maybe a power supply problem... ? If insufficient voltage, he could not start the HARD drive quite fast at startup, or quick enough after your option settings to be able to turn the HARD drive off when it is not accessed, what may cause this error message 'not found '.
    • If you use a power strip or surge protector, have you deleted and the PC connected directly to a wall jack?

    If it is a motherboard defective and you replace it with another jury of Vostro 430, you shouldn't have any problems with Windows or Office licenses. Assuming you are using Windows Dell reinstall for exact same version of Windows drive that was installed at the factory, it should not even ask the product key, if you must reinstall Windows on the HARD drive. But even if she asks, there should be a sticker somewhere on the PC with your unique product key so you can enter if the installer made the request.

    and make sure you have the Office product key too...

  • Cannot start Windows, Windows Setup does not detect the hard disk, Bootmgr is misiing

    I have a few problems on my laptop [Acer 3810 t]

    -The first problem
    My mobile give me screen "cannot start windows' who have 2 choices: run the Startup Repair tool and boot normally. I chose to fix it, but nothing happens and stuck "starting windows" and gives unmountable boot volume 'blue screen '. the Dungeon of blues screen appear (for laptop is a not restart). So I turned off my phone and turn it back on it. the "could not start" screen again and I chose to start normally. but the result is negative. My portable Dungeon cannot start windows. Because of that I am using the advanced boot option and choose all the boot type such asit cannot load the safemode, last configuration etc, but the result is the same, you cannot start windows. in safe mode, its stuck in loading fileinfo.sys. I do not give up to try again with the advanced boot option. until I have a bad situation. My laptop can only 1 file in safe mode and blues screen do not appear again (my laptop only return at the beginning of start or restart)

    -The second problem
    because it cant solved, I want to reinstall my laptop. My OS is Vista 32 bit (pre-installed). I want to install the new operating system, windows 7. I use Dsik Flash bootable USB to install Windows 7. But in the BIOS, it is detected as a USB HDD. So I set my BIOS to load USB HDD to the first order. the installation can be done, but only until the "start Setup" screen and its deadlock. I have it wait up to an hour, but nothing happens. So I'm going to BIOS, change SATA mode to IDE mode AHCI. Then load the USB and go "installation program start screen. but the new problem is the installation of window does not detect my hard drive. So I can not choose the place to install the operating system. I have to load the driver, but I did not. Again to load the configuration to AHCI and IDE, until I get my HDD can detected in IDE mode. So I think I can move easily, I choose custom installation and choose the hard drive to install the operating system. But unfortunately, at the beginning of the process, after choosing the OS, the Installer gives error if installation location the installation failed. (I forgot the error message)

    -The third problem
    So far, I can't spend 'startup begins' as well in mode IDE and AHCI. Also bootmgr in my hard disk is missing, so I can't go to move the startup repair or the startup option in my HDD as before

  • Qosmio F30 - 112 - Windows XP does not recognize the HARD drive

    Hello.

    I have a Qosmio F30-112.
    I tried to install the Windows XP Professional instead of the Media Center edition.
    However, during the execution of the installer, my laptop does not recognize the hard drive. Therefore, the installation cannot continue.

    I thought it might be a problem of corruption with my laptop and reinstalled Media Center Edition successfully.
    But when I try to install XP Professional it always gives me the same error.

    Suggestions for the configuration of the BIOS or solutions for why this is happening?

    You are looking for in this forum for other similar issues with regard to the installation of Win XP and lack HARD drive? I doubt

    The fact is that your notebook has a SATA controller and you need a SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver.

    Hello. I had my computer laptop vostro dell for 5 years, and I've never had a problem. A few weeks ago, I was starting, and I got the blue screen of death. I had the same thing when I rebooted. I bought a SATA dock for recover my files, so I could format it and start from scratch. However, the dock does not detect my HARD drive, although I hear the disc running.

    You boot from the disk and choose "Try without Unbuntu and change to your computer"?. Honestly, it looks that you have installed. In addition, using raid with Windows Xp support?

    If you have chosen to 'Try' Unbuntu I recommend now you run chkdsk /r from the recovery console. The problem is not with the hard drive probably, but with the file system.

    Download WIndows Xp Recovery Console from HERE. Save the file to your desktop. You will need to burn the iso image to a blank cd using the same way you did to the image ISO of Unbuntu ImgBurn. Although the instructions below refer to a Windows disk, the disk from the Recovery Console that you create will do the same.

    1. Insert the Windows XP CD in your CD-ROM drive and restart your computer. If you are prompted, select any options needed to start (boot) on the CD.
      
    2. when the text portion of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recovery option by pressing R.
      
    3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
      
    4. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If you have not set a password for the account admin simply press on enter
      
    5. at the command prompt, type chkdsk/r > press ENTER. (Note: there is a space between the slash and the letter k).
      
    6. at the end of the output of scan type > press ENTER.
      
    7 restart your computer.
